MicroStrategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin (BTC), has recently announced the launch of MicroStrategy Orange, a decentralized identity solution using the Bitcoin blockchain. The platform introduced MicroStrategy Orange during the Bitcoin for Corporations segment at the MicroStrategy World 2024 event in Las Vegas.
At the event, MicroStrategy Chairman Michael Saylor put forward an interesting question, “Wouldn’t it be great if instead of a blue check, green check, etc., there was an orange check that was a global standard?” He added that such an idea of decentralized identity with Bitcoin would be realized through MicroStrategy.

With MicroStrategy, maybe we could approach this idea of decentralized identity, with Bitcoin."–@saylor, Executive Chairman, MicroStrategy… pic.twitter.com/KFaQH7CaZm— MicroStrategy (@MicroStrategy) May 1, 2024
A Bitcoin proponent, Dylan LeClair, took to X to share insights on MicroStrategy’s Orange protocol. Explaining the protocol’s use of Bitcoin DID, he wrote, “The Bitcoin Inscription DID method (did:btc) uses inscriptions in witness data to store and manage DIDs, leveraging UTXOs for DID control.”
